1. A method for virtual fields driving related operations, the method comprises:
obtaining navigation information regarding at least a segment of a path of a vehicle to a destination of the vehicle, and traffic rule information about a traffic rule applied related to the path;
determining one or more virtual forces, by using a processing circuitry and based on the navigation information and on the traffic rule information, the one or more virtual forces are for use in applying a driving related operation of the vehicle, the one or more virtual forces belong to a virtual physical model and represent, at least in part, the navigation information;
determining, based on the one or more virtual forces, a desired virtual acceleration of the vehicle; and
triggering an execution of one or more vehicle driving operations that will cause the vehicle to propagate according to the desired virtual acceleration;
wherein the traffic rule is a maximal speed value, wherein the desired virtual acceleration is applicable to prevent the vehicle from exceeding the maximal speed value; and
wherein the method comprises defining the desired virtual acceleration applicable in an emergency situation to cause the vehicle to exceed the maximal speed value.
